From the Technology-based Classroom assessments, some things to consider when using technology to implement classroom assessments (Salend, 2009, p. 50). 
- Will the assessment allow me to measure meaningful skills and instructional outcomes?
- Will the assessment be appropriate for the ages and developmental capabilities of my students?
- Will the assessment allow me to accommodate students' individual differences?
- Will the assessment sharing of information with interested and relevant parties?
Heidi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for outlining all the major assessment practices using technology. It can be quite overwhelming. I think I have not reached the place where assessment has really allowed me to accommodate student's individual differences. I'm hoping to master the workshop model one day so that I can meet this goal.
I agree, looking at all the different technologies and way to assess is overwhelming. Thanks for putting everything into a list so it's easier to look at than clicking back and forth between readings.
ReplyDeleteI agree with emhayes, it's incredibly helpful to really see in list form what was mentioned. From my perspective at the university, the list on how to do these things goes on and on. To me, that's fun and exciting because that's my bread and butter, but to educators I can only imagine how overwhelming that may be.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of options out there and as technology constantly changes/advances the options increase. I have found myself trying 1-3 new things each school year. Trying out new tools and figuring out what works for me such as adding a class website, having students create a blog, etc. I have found things that work and have stuck and then others that haven't.
